“Oh… Ah! My, my body is so stiff…”
Stretching while extending my body, I checked my current physical condition calmly as I warmed my voice up.
Before I came back in time, my body was pretty wrecked from frequent binge drinking and long-term panic disorder medication.
My skin was always rough, with bags underneath my eyes. My physical balance was disrupted, and my belly protruded on my once-lean frame.
“Sigh… Rex, if you act like this, I’ll kill you. What’s this? What’s this? What’s going on with your skin, seriously? Is this an idol’s skin? An idol’s body?”
My coordinator and stylist noonas would sigh when they saw me.
They were concerned and scolded me at first, but later, they gave up.
Above all, the me back then had already given up on myself.
And now, the me who had not experienced that incident.
“…So smooth.”
In the large mirror attached to the wall, I looked much younger.
Of course, It was eight years ago.
Beautiful hair, a bright expression that hasn’t yet been subjected to the rotten politics of the entertainment industry. Cool, outstretched limbs.
Well, it was still obvious to me, but that’s my identity.
I reached out to the mirror, and the bright and cheerful version of myself looked back at me. The corners of my mouth curled upwards pleasantly.
It felt strange.
I had this face and this appearance before I became damaged.
Yesterday, I was called an evil member. I was called Trash-Rex.
Bzzz!
Perhaps my phone couldn’t stand seeing me indulging in self-contemplation, so a notification appeared.

Reward: Encyclopedia – <First Stage Memories> Unlocked]
Before I knew it, the menu tab had new sections, including Missions, Status, and Encyclopedia. Unlike the Encyclopedia, which I couldn’t click yet, the other sections were all active and could be viewed.
I’ve seen this before when I was in my phone gaming craze and was paying for multiple months.
“…If I think about it, I could technically consider myself the main character, right?”
Even so, I was just an idol who had won the rookie award once in my debut year, there was no way my abilities were just ordinary.
With a mix of curiosity and anticipation, wide-eyed, I opened the Status tab.
